Lucy Peppiatt - Paul on Women's Subordination (1 Cor 11)

Episode: This episode covers Paul, m/f, hermeneutics, theology, and all the things. Lucy Peppiatt helps us think through the challenging issues at play in 1 Corinthians 11, territory we covered in a previous episode with Michael Lakey, but this time from a different angle. Lucy has thought long and hard about this passage, and talks with Matt L. about some of her groundbreaking work. This episode will prepare us for our next episode with Andrew Rillera, which makes reference to Peppiatt's work. This is a rebroadcast of an earlier episode on gender and hermeneutics in Paul.

Guest: Lucy Peppiatt is Principal of Westminster Theological Centre, where she also lectures in Systematic Theology. She’s the author of Rediscovering Scripture's Vision for Women (IVP, 2019), Unveiling Paul’s Women: Making Sense of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 (Wipf and Stock, 2018),

Matthew Thiessen - Jesus and the Forces of Death

This episode discusses Jesus' confrontation with demonic impurity and ritual impurity, his relationship to the Sabbath, and much more from Thiessen's new book Jesus and the Forces of Death (Baker, 2020).

Guest: Matthew Thiessen (PhD, Duke University) is associate professor of religious studies at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
